Round 88 wasn’t any better than the last few rounds. I’m going to keep joining though and keep trying. I need to get my diet under control and start doing some form of exercise again.

Day/Weight/Comment

Sept 10 - 186.4 - I am struggling to control what I eat. I only want the junk.

Some rounds are harder than others but by continuing posting here you're still one step ahead! No shame in having a bad few rounds, you can get back on track later

Time for a post holiday / kids back to school re-set.
My aim is to be back to my pre holiday weight of 133 less a pound or two by the end of September (end of round 90).
Target for this round is to get back to normal eating, logging everything, planning and prepping properly and getting my water intake back up - like many people, it all slipped a bit post holiday and with the kids being off. Target for this round is to see 136lb. This is my round to get re-focused

Start Weight 140.3lb

09/10 - 138.1lb (-2.2lb) Yay - that's some of the weekend roast gone - same every week and "excess" usually gone by mid week so hopefully I'll see another drop tomorrow morning. Good day planned today and like feeling a bit more back in control

09/11 - 137.3lb (-0.8lb) That'll do thank you! So pretty much back to where I was after my holidays so 3.5lb up overall as got to 133.8lb before my holiday. So onwards and downwards towards that number again - aiming to get back to 133lb by around the end of September (end of R90 / R91)

This is my 2nd round. Finished the last round poorly purely due to TOM, cake and wine.
Determined this time. Id love to get as close as possible to 140 this round.

10th Sept: 142.75. Happy with this drop from yesterdays high. Ate within calories, almost hit macros, and walked the dog when son was training so hit 13k steps.
11th Sept: 140.25. THRILLED with this drop, considering the weekend I've had last weekend. Hit 16k steps last night and did a piloxing class. I cannot wait to see the 130's on the scales. I know it'll fluctuate up and down but I cant help even imagining seeing 13x on the scales this round. Rest day today. Son has match again tonight, I'll still him my10k steps.

Another RA person here! I was diagnosed at 29. I'm 40 now. I didn't go through the why me's especially the early years, I struggled to adjust and find the right meds. Now I'm doing great. I am on meds, I inject myself, but its just all part of me. I run, I gym, I cycle. I'm very active. People never believe I've RA. Of course I do get down sometimes but overall I don't let it take over my life.

Yesterday wasn’t too bad. I could have been a bit better or a bit worse. It’s the m&m’s that are my downfall. Although I did weigh and measure... forgot to weigh in this morning 😳

kimolivia7

Texan, 5'4", turning over a new leaf for the fall (pun intended). I bought an exercise bike!
New to the rounds, and looking forward to this round to jump start my exercise program. Cheering myself on! I have very old knees, and the exercise bike is my first step at getting stronger. I have to build from where I am. Had a lot of hidden salt in food the past few days, causing the scale to fluctuate wildly. So, I am ignoring the scale.
I will weigh in 9/10, and just go from there.

Goal for Round 89, Lose 2 pounds from wherever I am on 9/10.
Day/Weight/Comment

9/10 250.4 Holding onto about 3 lbs. of water from salt. Let it begin! Goal today 1400 cal., 30 min. bike.
9/11 248.6 Still retaining water. I think a 2 lb. “real” loss would be right around 243 on 9.19. We’ll see.

My highest weight was 197# at 5’4”. I’m 48 years old.
I was 189# when I first started keto (1/1/18), and had gotten down to 150# before I let life interrupt me.

Round 83 (my round 1) SW - 165.5, AW - 163.25
Round 84 (my round 2) SW - 160, AW - 161.2
Round 85 (my round 3) SW - 159.5, AW - 158.75
Round 86 (my round 4) SW - 158.5, AW - 157.64
Round 87 (my round 5) SW - 157.5, AW - 157.25
Round 88 (my round 6) SW - 157, AW - 156.875

Round 89 (my round 7)
9/10 - 155.5 - after 2 days of not weighing, it’s nice to see this drop. My SO thinks I’m not eating because I’m basically just eating OMAD. I’m eating when I’m hungry, just not as much as I used to and not giving in to all of the cravings. Craving fish, so that’s what’s coming out of the freezer for today.
9/11 (work) - 155.5 - better eating yesterday, better numbers today. Time to get ready for work!

Half the battle of this journey for me is sticking with it through good days and bad (or even weeks). If you are staying accountable to yourself that's what matters Be kind to you (and of course your wife - hope she feels better soon)

9/10 193.5 lbs 6h51m/83/10:45pm - great workout, but work didn't go well. Late to eat dinner, but good sleep. Kind of a mixed bag....
9/11 194.6 lbs 6h32m/77/10:36pm - super sore in my quads & jammies, this may be water retention in the muscles. I didn't use my foam roller, which I should have. Bad night sleeping because of another bad day at work. Combat tonight... should help.

09/10 194.6 (-0.2) not s great food day. Didn't measure or weigh my food and ended up eating crackers and cheese and meat sticks for dinner. Felt really off in general and unmotivated. Didn't do my workout. Trying to get back into routine tomorrow.

09/11 191.6 (-3.0) ok wow! That's quite a woosh! Got back to my workout program yesterday and food was a little in the low side. I've been drinking a tonne of water (like 150 oz.?) But I feel dehydrated this am. Strange. I was feeling kind of bloaty and puffy this am so didn't expect the drop but I'm glad because I was starting to get nervous that this wasn't going to work for me. (I know CICO is science and thus works for everyone, but the time it takes to see the trend and the bouncing weight levels makes me think it's not working and then I get sloppy and then it really doesn't work. Lol)

Day/Weight/Comment

09/10 - 141
09/11 – 140.5 – I had a fasting medical test on my gallbladder yesterday morning. Part of the test is injecting me with a chemical that mimics eating a meal. The tech asked me my weight and before I could tell him, he looked me straight in the eyes and said “It’s very important you give me the correct weight since this dose has to be calibrated with a meal.” I almost laughed out loud. I wanted to say that I’ve been telling dozens of people what I really weigh every day for the past year and a half, but I simply told him I weighed 141 that morning. This exchange once again reminded me of how important this group has been to me in being able to stay accountable and lose and maintain my weight loss over the past 18 months.

Ugh. I can’t seem to control myself. Worse, it seems I’m indulging in willful self-sabotage. What’s up with that? And I’ve missed my walks as I paint the house. It burns calories but it’s not the same. Sigh.

I did better yesterday with snacking (as in, I didn’t), but a friend gave me a gorgeous eggplant, so eggplant parmigiana for dinner. Yummy, but cheesy and therefore salty and caloric. Salads today! I also want to say that, though I haven’t been responding much as I scurry off to paint my house happy colors, I do read through everyone’s posts. Thank you for the inspiration and sense of community. You 10-day challenge people are the best.
